WHERE ENERGY METALS MEET MONEY

$76.7bn was invested in renewable energy in Q2 2018 alone and renewables make up around 17% of power consumption globally. Solar, storage, wind and electric vehicles are at the forefront of the transition to low carbon power generation and they are reliant on a handful of metals: lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper and rare earth metals. With a supply chain scattered across the globe and pockets in politically unstable countries, some industry insiders are forecasting shortages in key metals needed to fulfil legally binding commitments made by 170 countries to reduce emissions made in Paris in 2015 at the COP summit.
